EFRAG maps EMAS to ESRSs
EFRAG maps EMAS to ESRSs
EFRAG has released a document that maps the voluntary Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs). This document demonstrates that many of the environmental disclosure requirements of the ESRSs can be built on data existing within the EMAS framework.
EMAS-registered companies will benefit significantly from these synergies, as their existing environmental statements can now be used to meet parts of the ESRS requirements. For the over 4,100 organisations already using EMAS, it will be possible to reference the data in their Environmental Statement, following requirements of ESRS 1 paragraph 121. This is particularly advantageous for EMAS-registered companies subject to the new ESRS effective from 2024, with first reports due in 2025.
The current mapping document aligning EMAS Regulation with ESRS requirements streamlines sustainability reporting and helps companies integrate Green Deal requirements into their processes.
The mapping document can be via the press release.
